Thai is the class of people that Arizona wants now above all things people who come to stay, who desire to make permanent homes in the Territory, and are williner to devote their whole energies to assist in developing itd resources. In the early settle uicnt of the Territory, nobody ex pected to stay, all came aa they did in- the early settlement of Ca lifornia. in hopes of soon filling their sacks with the precious me tals and then returning to thair old honies, their to spend their days in ease and luxijry. We all know how small a proportion of the early emigrants realized these golden expectations. But though baffled in their hopes of becoming suddenly rich, they saw mines of inexhaustable wealth, in which the precious metals were wrap ped up in. quartz, which it would require machinery and capital to release. They saw more tha.n this. They discovered rich val leys of farmin...

During our residence in Arizo na we have known many men to become disheartened, disgust ed and tired of waiting for all drawbacks to be overcome and the Territory to start in a full career of prosperity. We have . known some of these men to lose all faith in the ultimate righting of things, and in doleful accents deplore their luck in ever com ing to such a country, wish them selves out of it, and that the Ter ritory might sink, etc. ' We have known some of this class of men to leave the Territory, more who would have left, but they were too poor to pay for transpor tation out, and too lazy to walk, and are to this day eternally growling and cursing the Terri tory. That class of men never do any good to any country. They are the sores, the excrescences of society. They are warts and tu bercles, and they are about as much use in performing the part of true pioneers in building up civi...

The old couple sleep down stairs in the sitting-room and the bbvs were'Dut in a room directly above. When they went up to bed Claudius had the clothes line under his coat, and the neigh bour's boy had a mask in his pock-' et. They didn't kneel down and say their prayers like good boys, and then jump into bed and tell bear stories, but as soon as the door was locked the Brasser boy remarked : "You'll see more fan around here to-night than would lie on a ten acre lot!" . J.

$5 per Year; Six Months $3. WM. J. BERRY Editor. YUMA, A. T. SATURDAY, APRIL. 10,1875. STICK TO IT. We consider this an appropriate text upon which to venture a few reflections at this time. The ad monition contained in this short sentence is of great import, for it implies resolution, tenacity, and perseverance. We allude of course , to sticking to those things that are right, and are sustained by the laws of morality, and justice and truth. For we all know that there are many habits indulged in by some men, that the less they are stuck" to and the sooner they are abondoned the better. But in all proper and laudable pursuits there is nothing that insures suc cess like sticking to it. Even though we should be baffled and meet with disappointments and disasters at every step, yet those who stick to it, generally conquer., But few men in the history of the world haver ever accomplished any great thing except by indomitable perseverance. It is true that a few discoveries that have resu...

SATURDAY, Apt II 10 MISCELLANY. Marking the coming low-necked dresses, a, rural rooster says that lovely woman is going to foam out over the top of her cloth es again. European countries can have no sympathy for the United Stales, or they would not permit Joaquin Miller to write poetry and live. Clara Morris of Schenectady claims to be able to step five feet at a step. She'd make a good stepmother. How is it that a poolc-looking1 girl can meet her lover in a dark hall and almost instantly discover whether he has had his moustache shaved off or not? A husband sought a divorce be cause his wife liked corn beef and potatoes.- He wanted her to be an angel, and live on cologne wa ter and gorgeous sunsets. In the Beecher case when Mrs. Putnam testified that Mrs. Tilton kissed all gentlemen friends of the family and Tilton all the ladies, Jeffery, a juror, fainted. The Lexington (Ky.)

Doubtless some man on seeing this word will throw down the paper in disgust, and say or think, "what do we want to hear from him about inorali ty. We want to hear about the mines, about the material de velopment and prosperity of the Territory, about the arrival of steamers and trains, about the ac cession of sheep, cattle and horses etc., but as to morality, we don't want to read anything about it, leave that to the preachers." Now we advise all who think that way and are set in that opinion, to Jay down tlie paper and read no further. We do not intend to inyade the domain of the preach er. He tells us that, morality is one thing and religion another. He tells us that a .man may practice all the moral virtues all his life, bejusr, merciful and true, be kind to the widow and the fatherless, raise the fall...

Let me tell you about her: She was a Maltee, and what that cat didn't know wasn't worth knowin'. Here's one thins she did : In the spring of M6 I moved into tne nttie om house on the Crooked River. We put our provisions down in the cellar, and the first night we made our beds on the floors. But we didn't sleep. No sooner had it come dark than we heard a tearnin' and a squeakin' in the collar that was awful. I lit the candle and went down. Jeru salem! Talk about rats! I never saw such a sight in my born days. Every inch of the cellar bottom was covered with them. They ran up on -to me, and all over me. I jumped back into the room and called the cat. She came down and looked. I guess she sat there about ten minutes, look ing at the rats, and I was waitin' to see what she would do. By and by she shook her head, and turned, and ...

Think not, gentle reader, that we intend to inflect upon you a regular fashion article, in accord ance with the style of the flash papers of the day, Far from it. Our purpose is rather to expose and ridicule the silly and absurd practices of the blind votaries of the foolish and crack-brained goddess, from the soft and spooney feminine who tortures herself in to the uGreecian Bend," the " Kangaroo Hop," or the " Boston Dip' down, yes. away down to that brainless fop, that libel upon masculine humanity who parts his hair in the middle. That is our purpose now, so let all spoonies and popinjoys stand from under, for we're a-going to talk. And, by the way, before we forget it, we wish to tell a short and mourn - . ful story about a chap who we had the misfortune to know, who from his earliest start out in life con ceived the, idea that he could make himself very attractive to the dear creatu...
